EE are moving existing "CPI" customers over to pounds and pence

nyermen

Just an FYI, as I can't see a discussion on this - EE are moving existing customers over to their fixed amount rises. I've just had an email through myself.  Long time monthly plan, way out of minimal term so I presume they can do what they want.

Currently paying EE £10.50 a month for a simple service with CPI+3.9 (i think) as the annual rise.  They've said that the rises on 31st March I will be automatically moved over to their pounds and pence rises (£2.50 in my case the email says).  Having been anticipating maybe a 6 or 7% rise, it'll actually be roughly a 24% rise. (and roughly 19% in 2027 I think, assuming £2.50 again)

I guess its finally time to visit the best deals page...

They were told by the government they had to move legacy customers onto these fixed amount rises.

Or to be more specific, that utterly useless quango Ofcom with yet another kick in the teeth for consumers.

It was actually the government this time.

Thanks for the thoughts, and apologies for late reply.  My wife (similar situation) finally got her notice of rises as well, so now we can proceed.

I was looking wider at options (eg. PAYG as well - got to think MSE after all), and because I have a work sim card and want to carry a single phone, the wish for esim only has limited things a bit in that world (apparently EE dont offer PAYG on esim only).

Will come back with a decision once i’ve spoken to EE retentions probably tomorrow.
